I've seen many people comment and discuss that post-pandemic they miss wearing a mask in public. I know some people really hate wearing masks, but others felt it gave them more privacy and other benefits.

Musicians (and other "Joe Cool" characters) often like to wear their sungllsses indoors and at night

I'm wondering if it changes modes when you stand up or walk around? Still, I'm intrigued by this device that lets you essentially strap a MacBook Pro (M2 chip) to your face. Instead of using two physical monitors to edit videos, you can use two (or more) virtual monitors to edit videos. With the AR goggles, now you can edit on your couch or on an airplane or in the bathroom. Very powerful if it works well.

Nope and especially not for 4k

No, but I like the idea of immersive VR & ai for learning

No. Especially if it is 100% proprietary.

Being able to walk around with a computer on your head is the second step in becoming a cyborg. It's going to happen O.O

I would say no… BUT this is a start. I’ve games more on a Quest 2 in the past year than I did on anything over the last 5 years. It’s just more fun to me. I’m not even talking about expensive games, though I’ve enjoyed some of this as well. I play rec room paintball most of the time. It’s just fun.

Down the road, I can see something more akin to Google Glass once the tech catches up. Eventually, though, there will have to be some kind of external camera to capture the user. The first question I had when I saw the FaceTime demo was, what are the other people seeing? My guess is you’re locked to showing either an aviator or an Animoji - neither of which are very good options, IMO.

Sure it has an Apple tax, and I have a ton of questions about use cases and support (360 photos/videos is an obvious one/), but it did look cool as hell! Not necessarily $3500 cool, though.

Yeah totally agreed. Especially if it's made by Apple lmfao

Yeah everything was fine until it started injecting needles into my mind
